Working with The Eligon was one of the best experiences I had while wedding planning. We found them just by luck and decided to take a tour. I am so so glad we didn't settle for an...
ywhere else! Melissa and her team made us feel like we could take a breath, relax and enjoy it all. Every meeting truly felt like a friend was helping us. They made the day go by so smooth and I swear if anything went wrong, I, the bride, had no idea! Our friends were extremely happy with the venue as well and have all said we need to hold more parties there. The special touches they did for us really made the day! I will forever appreciate Melissa, Kenna, Ethan and the whole team truly. My husband and I got our dream wedding with so much help from them. I am so glad they were fine with the different mood we brought to this otherwise very colourful venue lol Again, we appreciate them so much and will suggest this venue and team for anyone!

lutely flawless, minimizing any stress on your end. They are readily available to cater to your needs in such a kind and attentive manner. The venue was also stunning, featuring both indoor and outdoor spacing to accommodate parties of all sizes. We chose to primarily remain outdoors because of the beautiful greenery for photos. They even have separate rooms to get ready. We shopped at least 30 venues throughout the state, and were happy to have chosen the Eligon! Pricing was affordable given the inclusive packages they have available, and the staff truly care to make you comfortable to enjoy the most important day of your life. 100% recommend and would do it over again in a heartbeat!! ❤️
